The Princess

     Long ago was cursed into sleep by the wicked Queen who feared that her beauty and power would one day surpass her own. Now the Princess has awakened, but she will not wait helplessly for her story-book ending. She will not let anyone take her freedom from her.

     As the Princess your goal is to collect the three items in the level. You will need to evade the other characters by strategically using your spells as you maneuver throughout the level.

     The Princess cannot be hurt or damaged, but is slower and cannot preform attacks like the other three. Cunning use of her spells is necessary as is her ability to use the three against each other, for if she can get them fighting one another, she can more easily slip away.
The Princess
Scream Ability
- Right Click to Use -
     This will reveal your position on the Mini-Map. Use this only when you wish to draw attention you yourself.
Fireball Spell
- Single Use -
     The Princess will cast a blue fireball towards where she is aiming. The Fireball will explode once it hits something dealing a great amount of damage to anyone nearby.
Invisibility Spell
- Single Use -
     The Princess will turn herself invisible and be able to move around undetected by sight or senses. Footsteps are still noticeable however, and splashing through water can easily show a Hunter your location. The Princess can still be caught when insivible.
Teleport Spell
- Single Use -
     The Princess will randomly teleport to a specific part in the level. It is likely that the Princess will teleport to a place far from where she cast the spell, but there is a chance the spell will backfire and only send her a short distance.
Transform Spell
- Single Use -
     The Princess can instantly change her appearance to look like one of the other characters in the game. She does not gain any of the attacks or abilities of the character, but does inherit the character’s speed. Hunting Senses will not work properly while the Princess is transformed, but the Princess can still be picked up. The Princess may take on the form of the Prince, Wolf, Queen or Gingerbread Man.
The Gingerbread Man
- Single Use -
     The Princess can release The Gingerbread Man who acts as a decoy causing all hunting senses to attract to him instead of the Princess. The Gingerbread man will run around in a frenzy for a short time, then once he has overheated will begin chasing the nearest Hunter or a Hunter who has picked up the Princess. The Gingerbread Man will shortly thereafter explode with baked goodness doing massive damage to anyone nearby and always knocking the Princess free of any captive harm.

The Wolf

     The Wolf is a beastial inhabitant of the Kingdom who lives in a dark cavern deep in the swamps. He is vicious and a great hunter. Longing for a meal more satisfying than his normal fare of cave-dwelling critters, the Wolf came to the surface and upon catching a hint of the Princess' delicious scent, he knew he had found his dinner.

     As the Wolf your goal is to use your Hunting Sense to track down the Princess, snatch her in your jaws and return with her to your base.

     The Wolf's main ability is his speed and resilience. He is not the strongest combatant, but can rush in, strike quickly, and get away just as fast. Once he has hold, it can be difficult to extract the Princess from the Wolf's grasp as his hit counters will regenerate over time.
The Wolf
Wolf Sense
- Always Active -
     The Wolf’s Hunting Sense allows him to see the scents of other characters in the game. Each scent is represented by a colour depending on the character.
- The Prince - Orange
- The Queen - Blue
- The Princess - Pink
     The trail left will fade over time and become smaller and harder to see. Following the trail towards the larger more concentrated end will lead you to the Character. This Scent can be affected by the Princess’ spells (see above).
The Gingerbread Man
- Hold the Right Mouse Button and move forward to Use -
     This ability can be used as long as the Wolf desires allowing him to cover great distances in a short amount of time.
Pounce Attack
- Hold down the Left Mouse Button to charge -
     Once fully charged the Wolf can perform a Pounce Attack, making him leap forward quickly doing more damage than his regular attack and stunning the opponent. The Wolf can leap great distances if used in conjunction with his Sprint Ability. A Pounce will also remove 2 hit counters from a carrier.
Final Attack
- Execute 3rd Combo-Attack -
     The Wolf will slam the ground, erupting a ring of fire around him. This attack does a great deal of damage and has an area of effect which will damage and knock-back characters in the vicinity.

The Prince

     The Prince is a vain and narcissistic noble who believes his perfection is absolute. He considers himself charming and gorgeous; never standing for those who might tell him otherwise. Upon hearing about the awakening of the most beautiful Princess in the land, the Prince knew that only she would make a worthy bride and set out to make her his own.

     As the Prince your goal is to use your Hunting Sense to track down the Princess, take her in your arm and return with her to your base.

     The Prince's main prowess is in combat. He is an excellent swordsman and can deliver very deadly blows with his attacks though his swings are slower than the other Hunters. Due to his armor, the Prince has one extra hit counter than either other Hunter while carrying the Princess, allowing him to always take an extra hit on his route home.
The Prince
Heartbeat
- Always Active -
     The closer you are to the Princess the faster it will beat. The heartbeat will also be more vibrant if you are facing the direction of the Princess and more faded if you are not. Orient the Prince so that the heartbeat beats brightly to know which direction to travel. The Prince's heartbeat is attached to the Mini-Map and can be affected by certain Princess spells (see above).
Parry Ability
- Right Click to Use -
     This ability can parry any oncoming attack and counter it back in the direction you are aiming. A successful Counter-Attack on an opponent will stun them for a short while and deal the damage you would have received. The Prince can only parry attacks in front of him.
Eduardo
- Hold down the Left Mouse Button to charge -
     Once fully charged the Prince can throw his sword, Eduardo, in the direction he is aiming. If striking an opponent, the sword will deal more damage than a regular attack and stun them for a short while. This attack will also remove 2 hit counters from any carrier. Once your sword has touched the ground it can be retrieved by moving the Prince to it. If not retrieved, Eduardo will return on its own after a short while. During this time, the Prince will not be able to perform any of his abilities, but can still pickup the Princess.
Final Attack
- Execute 3rd Combo-Attack -
     The Prince will strike with a mighty slash unleashing a wave of light around him. This attack does a great deal of damage and has an area of effect which will damage and knock-back characters in the vicinity.

The Queen

     The Queen is a wicked and powerful tyrant, exiled to her frozen mountain fortress long ago for using her dark magics to drain life from others and preserve her own. She fears only the toll of age on her power and beauty and seeks a way to create a source everlasting. Now, with the awakening of the Princess she'd cursed into sleep so long ago, she has found that source.

     As the Queen your goal is to use your Hunting Sense to track down the Princess, capture her with your magic and return with her to your base.

     The Queen is most powerful when avoiding direct confrontation. She can use her staff to fire from a distance giving her a significant advantage against the other hunters who must be close to do harm. When carrying, the Queen is not as slowed by the the Princess' weight as are the other characters. The Queen's magics allow her to move quickly back to her base.
The Queen
Queen's Vision
-Right Click to Use-
     This will give the Queen a direct look at what the Princess sees. Though it is a hazy look and toned blue by her frost, she can see landmarks nearby and note where she is going in order to head her off. The Queen must stop and concentrate to use this ability and may not move while viewing the Princess.
Frogify
- Hold down the Left Mouse Button to charge -
     Once fully charged the Queen can release the Powers of her staff to turn an opponent into a Frog, leaving them helpless. This Spell is useful in close range but the Queen must aim and strike the opponent with her staff to make it work. The Queen cannot Frogify the Princess.
Final Attack
- Execute 3rd Combo-Attack -
     The Queen will fire three bolts of Ice from her staff and summon Meteo from the skies. Meteo will fall to the ground where the Queen is aiming and strike anything in close range dealing a great amount of damage.
